And, as I had firmly declined a request to don rabbit ears for the Alice in Wonderland tea I spoke at on Thursday, I hunkered down one afternoon to create a freakishly over sized watch face. Even the rabbit-esque require the proper accessories you know.
I love the top hat and am quite partial to the lace topped white socks as well. In fact, I'm rather attached to the whole thing. But, I quickly learned the perils of dressing even remotely rabbit like.
I was in Tampa the day before my talk and my hostess and I were were standing side by side in front of the J. Crew window at the International Mall. Each of us stood quietly as we studied the perfectly poised mannequin sporting this spring's latest style - a style I couldn't help thinking was somewhat too eclectic.
"I don't know," I said. "There's an awful lot going on there."
My hostess waited a moment before turning to me.
"Fashion commentary from the woman who'll be dressed like a white rabbit tomorrow?"
I've never claimed to be a true fashionista but I do believe I've now lost what little fashion credibility I might have possessed.
I also learned that night I've long been buying jeans a size too big!
I may as well have consented to wearing the ears!
You look darling and have such pizazz! I wish I were tall, lean, and statuesque. Instead, I look like a refrigerator box with crunches and folds from the top down from a dropped a wrecking ball!
